What a waste of money! - By: Wendophilous, 15 May 2007
How very disappointing. Made itself out to be alll mysterious & interesting when in fact it was about an A4 sheet of paper's worth of writing spread over god knows how many pages. What a total waste of money & of a perfectly good tree. You can't even read it a second time because the "novelty" is lost. My advice: don't bother.
cube keep the secret - By: cold reader, 07 Mar 2007
Well,bookworm from stalybridge nails it reallly,take with a pinch of salt.I too bought it because of neil strauss recommendations,if you have any interest in people,and psychology,personallly i would spend my money else where.
If you want to read it on the basis thats its something to play with,and see how people react?then fair goes,in psychological terms its a representational tool,a fairly good ice breaker & conversation starter.
And something very light...if you want to use it to chat someone up?you'll probably end looking more of analyst than someone they want leave with...
Know more about yourself and others around you ! - By: Andrey Belogortsev, 03 Mar 2007
This is an incredible short trip into knowing yourself & looking at your own personality from the different dimension.It is a great tool to find out more about your mates or family, as it subtly reveals their personality, without them knowing it. A lot of fun! Defenately recommend it.
Interesting and quick readd - By: J. Holt, 04 Feb 2007
I read this book based on the Strauss recommendation - his goal being to be more interesting than you actuallly are to the opposite sex. I am sceptical that it works in that way ( I did try a lot!!). BUT it is fascinating to do the cube thing with your mates et al. Enjoy [do not skip to the end - read the book sequentiallly]
Not Meant to be Taken Seriously - By: Bookworm, 04 Jan 2007
Hopefully. If you are at alll interested in the psychology of illusion, being aware of what people are thinking and, especiallly how to manipulate that for effect; this book will be an OK read to help with insight into people's need to believe. The needier people are, the more easily they are manipulated. If people actuallly take this seriously then they need to be warned they are amongst the babies that people find it oh so easy to take candy from. Just ask a Psychologist or Illusionist - but quite often they are the same person. However, there are far better books on the market that will assist with human psychology, so perhaps don't buy this one if you are a serious student of human behaviour or interested in learning about illusion techniques.

This book has now made it to the recyc bin, as 1) My bookshelves creak worringly 2) It isn't reallly a good book & 3) Trees died for this? So as with other books I think this of I help it do its bit to save other trees.
